The Best
John Powers was an absolute beast once he took my case. He made everything clear and fought vigorously for me to get the result i needed. Should i ever need an attorney again, I would hire John immediately without the slightest reservation. I could not possibly express my gratitude enough.

Beyond Expectations!
Another lawyer recommended that I contact John on behalf of my brother who had a few criminal charges against him and a pending bench warrant. The alleged charges against my brother were not ones that would be easily reduced or dismissed, so I did not hold out much hope for a great outcome. John is a...

Great guy and lawyer
I was convicted of a second DWI and John did everything he could to help lower the charges and keep me from going to jail or doing any community service. He was able to get it down, initially, from 5 years to 3 years probation with a felony on my record. As my case was nearing to an end, John was abl...
Thank you for the kind words. I'm happy you were satisfied with the outcome.
"John is an aggressive and skilled advocate. if your life or liberty is on the line you want someone to fight for you and John will fight hard for you."
"Powers is a powerful lawyer and advocate! I met John while attending the National College for DUI Defense's summer session, which was recently hosted on the campus of Harvard's law school. I saw him in action and was most impressed with his work. I left with two thoughts: 1. If I was charged with a crime in his practice area, he would be my first call for representation; and 2. I need to add his name to my rolodex for potential client referrals. If you are in trouble and need some legal help, give John a call."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing John for over a decade and know him to be a skilled, diligent, and zealous advocate for his clients. I have referred him criminal cases in the past and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. John is an excellent lawyer who fights hard for his clients."
